First
in a series of re-issues of ALL official
Grateful Dead studio and live recordings!

2017
marks the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead's eponymous debut studio
album. What better way to celebrate than with a special album reissue
series that will include two-disc deluxe editions and limited edition
vinyl picture disc versions of all the group’s studio and live albums!
These two-disc deluxe editions will include the original album with newly
remastered sound, plus a bonus disc of unreleased recordings.

THE
GRATEFUL DEAD: 50th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION contains the original album
— newly remastered from the original tapes by David Glasser, and restored
by Plangent Processes — along with a bonus disc that features the complete
unreleased concert from July 29th, 1966 and select cuts from July 30th,
1966 at the P.N.E. Garden Auditorium in British Columbia, mastered by
Jeffrey Norman. Only a few recordings from the Dead’s first two years
exist, but each one reveals corners of the band’s repertoire not captured
anywhere else. That’s especially true here, with three songs making their
last appearance on any surviving Dead recording: “Standing On The Corner,”
“You Don’t Have To Ask,” and “Cardboard Cowboy.”
